What is authenticity, what does being authentic really mean? I decided to define authenticity myself and look into how some other good modern folks have defined it, all of which I present here, with my own brief comments added. Does Being Authentic (Being Yourself) Sound Cool? If you’re interested in consciousness, conscious awareness, spiritual and […]

The very fact that people wonder “how to be yourself?” (or “how can I be myself?”) ought to be a puzzle, right? But really it isn’t. Because the fact is that most of us are not being ourselves. Instead we’re being nice, socialized, well-behaved, productive, conform, normal etc. – or we’re being the opposite of […]

Most of us just loooove drama. In our lives, I mean. I’m not talking about film, TV, theater or literature, etc. I’m talking about the drama of relationships, career, money, power, beliefs, etc. Your lover/partner/spouse is dropping you (or vice versa) and it’s a drama; one that can play out for months or even years […]

This is part 3 of a long and concentrated (but easy to read) text on consciousness and reality. You can find the first part here: part 1 and the second part here: part 2. These texts have fairly advanced content. The subjects and concepts are pretty mind-boggling, so these texts are mostly for people who […]

This is part 2 of a long and concentrated (but easy to read) text on consciousness and reality. You can find the first part here and the third part here: here. These texts aren’t entry-level or mid-level stuff. The subjects and concepts are pretty mind-boggling. Basically, these texts are for people who are serious about […]

First off, a warning: This particular text isn’t for everybody. It’s not entry-level stuff, nor is it even mid-level stuff. It concerns huge subjects and presents some fairly mind-boggling concepts (in what is hopefully an easy-to-read way). It is also very long and fairly concentrated. (Actually, it got so long that I split it into […]

Who wants to know the meaning of life? Well, perhaps a better question is, who doesn’t? Since mankind has been wondering about the meaning of life for ages, it may seem presumptuous for me to write anything definitive about it, but really it isn’t. Because we ALL have the answer, and we’ve had it all […]

This page is dedicated to showing some quotes with pictures that I have created for the sheer joy of it. Some of the quotes are famous quotes or funny life quotes by wise and/or humorous characters from history and others are by, well, myself, yours truly (Soren Lauritzen). Creating graphic quotes such as these is […]

Apart from the facts that fried onions taste great, but peeling and slicing onions will make you cry, onions are also a great metaphor. An onion seems like this round, solid object, but every time you peel a layer off, there’s another layer beneath it. An onion, then, is basically a bunch of layers. Well, […]

Do you know what this is: “Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.” If you’re into science fiction, you probably know that the text just […]

All strong negative emotions release stress chemicals to energize our muscles instead of our brains, preparing us to fight, flee or be paralyzed (hide or play dead). So fear, guilt, anger, frustration, shame, hatred, jealousy (as well as stress itself) basically make us stupid! If we continue feeling stress, fear, guilt, etc. over a protracted […]

Apparently a page such as this, describing the boring legal stuff that really should be self evident, is a good idea. (Yawn). So here it is … This disclaimer and legal notice pertains to this website and all content on it or derived from it. On this website the publisher provides educational information on any […]
